Couldn't tell you accurately about the actual cost of living as I don't have a job out here (just working remotely while here), but I did notice a few things cheaper at the supermarket. I think its comparable to where I'm from; housing costs have reportedly increased here because of the mass exodus of people. I've been told this is a mild winter for them so far. It only snowed once, and it's been in the mid to high 30s with 40s next week. When its just cold and it doesn't rain or snow, its great air, and nice out. The people don't fuck around when it comes to freedom; mostly conservatives and libertarians. Its amazing to walk into most stores and not wear a mask. Lots of places do have mask signs, some "required" signs and others "please wear a mask" (haha, sure) but so far only Costco and Big 5 have said anything at all when I walk in without one, regardless of what the signs say. Good looking women as much as anywhere else, hard to compete with California, but I will say its not a bunch of obese people like I saw when I was in Texas or other areas. People work hard up here and are generally healthy.
